Questions

Life is full of questions.

“Questions”

 

Rain pours down as we soon forget

Everyone in life who we have ever met

Each moment we have loved and lost

Have caused us to pay the ultimate cost

 

We are not who we were meant to be

We are not enjoying life as others can see

We lose ourselves in a world not meant for you or I

We move forward without ever asking why

 

We will not ask why we let mistakes bother us so much

We will not ask why we use each stumble as a crutch

We will not ask why we hold back from our potential

We will not ask why we refuse to become influential

We will not ask why we allow others to control who we are
We will not ask why we allow others to hurt us and leave a scar

We will not ask why we let each day pass us by

We will not ask why we do not live as though we are going to die

 

We stand down and do not fight

There is no end in sight

This is the way life has always been

So we accept it and never again ask when

 

We will not ask when the sky will become clear

We will not ask when we will overcome fear

We will not ask when the sun will rise

We will not ask when we will face our own demise

 

We will not ask when we will gain wisdom

We will not ask when we will no longer be a victim

We will not ask when the grass will turn green
We will not ask when everything we want will be seen

 

We allow each moment to get lost in a sea of regret

The rain comes down and soon we are dripping wet

We are broken beyond any possibility of repair

We live our lives without any hope or care

 

We have been this way from the very start

Deep down our misery is for the faint of heart

Each person understands their own sense of pain

They live their life in downpour of a never ending rain

 

We accept moments as they come

We accept the feeling of being numb

We accept the break of our pride

We accept life and its great divide

 

There are too many things society tells us we must do

There are too many things we pretend as though we knew

The deadline for each thing might come and go

We keep falling short and will never know

 

Our lives are planned out the moment we are born

Throughout adolescence we become torn

We fail to meet each standard which has been set

Although society’s goals might never be met

 

We are supposed to go to college and fall in love with the first person we meet

Our lives will intertwine, our love will grow, and everything else with take a backseat

We are supposed to graduate college by the time we turn twenty-two

We will graduate with honors, be pursued by large companies, and know what is true

 

We are supposed to be married by the time we turn twenty-five

Say “I do” and you will never have felt so alive

In a few months our first child is on the way

When we hear those tears our troubles will go away

 

This is the path we are destined to take

If we do not, we are destined to break

Society wants each of these things to come true

We fail to take a step back and ask of who

 

We will not ask who the one is who steals our heart

We will not ask who will be there at the start

We will not ask who will pick us up when we fall

We will not ask who will be at the end standing tall

 

We will not ask who will try to break us on our path

We will not ask who will face our devastating wrath

We will not ask who will guide our journey in life

We will not ask who will guide us through the strife

 

We do not ask because questions are unfit

We keep going until we are ready to quit

Events come and go and we are left unaware

Society wants these events, but we need to ask where

 

Where will we find true love?
Where will we have peace like a dove?
Where will we find strength we never knew we had?
Where will we find peace instead of getting mad?

 

Where will we be pushed to our limit?

Where will we want to travel and visit?
Where will we realize our own power?

Where will we build our living tower?

 

Questions arise as we break off from what we were told

We take each aspect of life and form our own distinct mold

The work is never finished, the door will never shut

We push ahead fighting while always asking what

 

What will we do with each moment we are given?

What will we do to push ourselves to always be driven?

What will be the reason we make it to tomorrow?

What will be the reason why we feel sorrow?

 

What will life bring us when we are content?

What will each moment in our lives have meant?

What will we be doing 20 years from today?

What will we be doing to further our own way?

 

Do not be held back by what society expects from you

Each person has their own journey and distinct breakthrough

Better yourself so one day you can look back and say, wow

You have overcome predeterminations because you asked how

 

How will you fight your greatest war?

How will you enable yourself to soar?

How will you climb to the highest peak?

How will you enable yourself to never be weak?

 

How will you show the world what it could have had?
How will you enable yourself to never be mad?

How will you rise above all you are expected to know?

How will you enable yourself to grow?

 

Events in life will cause our pace to be slowed

We fail to remember that everyone travels a different road

So do not compare your journey to another

Each person is unique from the other

 

Wake up and live your life because you have a new day

Wake up and be happy that you are making your own way

Wake up and remember that the past cannot hurt you now

Wake up and remember your own personal vow

 

Do not struggle with what has not come

Do not feel as though you are dumb

Do not forget your roots in what you believe

Do not forget what you hope to one day achieve

 

From these words find meaning in your heart

You are too strong to continue to fall apart

So take these words with every ounce of pride

In this life you shall no longer be denied
